Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Fixletic 50mg Tablet?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccines or cause a reaction in children who have recently received them. However, it's advisable to consult your child’s doctor before giving any vaccine during antibiotic treatment. Once your child feels better after the illness, the vaccine can be given.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Fixletic 50mg Tablet on a long-term basis?
Your child’s doctor might suggest getting regular kidney function and liver function tests during prolonged treatment with Fixletic 50mg Tablet to monitor their condition.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose doesn't necessarily mean antibiotics are needed for a bacterial infection. During a common cold, mucus may thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms typically subside within 7-10 days.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
